March Recap

March was a very busy month for us...
We had a few visitors, crossed a couple of milestones,
and ventured to Georgia for the first time with Sam.

Sam has started to interact with toys. This is his turtle friend, Sheldon. He was created by our dear friend Amber and given to us before she knew Sam was on the way. Amber and her husband are currently serving the Lord overseas. Sheldon reminds us to pray for them and their ministry.

Aunt Amanda and Uncle Wayne came over for a Saturday visit.


Sam has started to eat his fingers--they are always in his mouth now. Sometimes he sticks his whole hand in his mouth...then, of course, gags himself.


At his two month Dr's appointment, Sam got his first shots.
It was a pitiful sight--both Sam and I were in tears.
Thankfully, Sam was a trooper and quickly settled down.
These are the battle wounds.


For my birthday, Scott planned a Saturday morning adventure. We went to an area of downtown Raleigh we had never been, chatted over Chai tea at a local coffee shop, walked around Five-points, took a stroll through and ate lunch in Pullen Park. It was so nice to simply be with my family. With all that Scott is balancing right now, I appreciated our time together more than ever.


Jamie and Melissa came to visit over Melissa's spring break. They do not have children yet, so I had a talk with Sam about being on his best behavior. We didn't want to scare Jamie off from having kids... Sam was pretty good, and Jamie was wonderful with Sam! Of course, Sam was happy to see his "Auntie M" again.


EASTER!
My mom, "Gigi," flew up to spend Easter weekend with us.
After Easter service, she rode with Sam and I to Georgia. It was a huge help having someone else in the car for Sam's first road trip. Overall, he did good!


On the way to my hometown, we stopped to visit with Scott's parents.
They conveniently live in a subdivision right off of the highway.
Sam was excited to see his "Papa K" and "Khaki" again.



So many new faces...
Sam met a lot of family for the first time during our time in Georgia.
My dad and I drove down to Statesboro for my brother, Jonathan to meet Sam.
Sam had been eagerly awaiting meeting his "Uncle Jon".
I think they hit it off well!


Sam also got to meet his Great-Grandparents, Papaw and Grandma Sue...



his Aunt Erin and Uncle Kenny...


our dear friends, Tripp and Elizabeth...


and spent more time with his Pops and Gigi!


One of the main reasons why we went to Georgia was to celebrate my friend Sarah's wedding day! She was a gorgeous bride...and she had a handsome groom. It was a sweet ceremony on a beautiful sunny day in the middle of a Pecan Orchard.


I was thankful to be a part of such a special time in Sarah's life.
I can't believe she's a married woman now!!!


Hopefully, I will be better at updating more often.
That way you won't have to read a novel next time!
Happy Spring!
